PREFACE. 


This  volume,  as  far  as  known,  unique  in  its  conception  and  scope, 
owes  its  existence  to  the  casual  thought  that  in  the  earlier  years  of 
this  country's  history  New  England  lax'gely  furnished  its  ministry, 
but  with  the  spreading  of  the  ever-increasing  population  and  the 
formation  of  new  states,  would  do  so  no  longer.  Enough,  however, 
had  been  done  to  merit  permanent  record.  The  compiler,  as  a 
native  of  New  Hampshire,  soon  decided  to  chronicle  her  proportion 
of  such  ministry  down  to  date,  and  for  more  than  30  years  has  taken 
gi'eat  pleasure  in  bringing  together  the  material  herein  included,  of 
2,509  who,  in  home  and  foreign  lands,  have  sought  to  render  valu- 
able service  to  their  generation  in  the  line  of  their  distinctive  work. 
This  has  necessitated  the  examination  of  uncounted  volumes  and 
newspapers,  an  extensive  correspondence,  and  many  personal  inter- 
views. The  endeavor  has  been  to  give  the  complete  statistical  life 
of  all  of  all  denominations  as  far  as  obtainable.  Of  a  few  the  fact 
only  has  been  learned.  Of  some  the  account  is  very  meagre.  Some 
early  dropped  from  the  public  records  and  were  lost  from  sight. 
The  facts  of  some  have  been  gathered  from  various  sources,  and  a 
very  few  are  incomplete  because  of  the  failure  of  individuals  to 
make  response  to  inquiries.  It  has  been  thought  best  to'  include 
licentiates  in  the  record,  as  some  have  done  valuable  service  while 
engaged  in  other  professions,  and  others  have  died  before  reaching 
ordination. 

Experience  makes  certain  that  this  record,  large  as  it  is,  is  still 
incomplete  for  lack  of  knowledge,  and  the  compiler  will  be  glad  if 
persons  examining  the  volume  and  failing  to  find  names  that  ought 
to  be  there  will  kindly  inform  him  of  such  fact,  in  the  interest  of 
greater  completeness. 

While  the  endeavor  has  been  to  chronicle  every  thing  relating  to 

248698 


IV  PEEFACE. 

the  statistical  life  of  the  individual,  including  a  complete  bibliogra- 
phy as  far  as  possible,  as  will  be  seen  personal  eulogy  has  formed 
no  part  of  the  plan.  Only  now  and  then  a  noteworthy  incident  in 
an  individual's  history  has  been  given,  and  then  in  briefest  form. 
Doubtless  mistakes  will  be  found,  for  they  are  inevitable  in  bringing 
together  such  a  mass  of  facts,  but  no  pains  has  been  spared  to  ensure 
entire  accuracy.  Sources  of  information  are  not  always  reliable. 
Where  authorities  have  differed,  the  one  most  probable  has  been 
given. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  five  indexes  will  be  found  eminently  satis- 
factory, and  the  volume,  as  a  book  of  reference,  become  invaluable 
to  every  public  library.  It  certainly  should  find  a  place  in  every 
such  library  in  New  Hampshire. 

In  the  preparation  of  the  work,  the  valuable  aid  furnished  by 
many  is  hereby  gratefully  acknowledged,  and  special  thanks  accorded 
to  Miss  Mary  E.  Stone  of  the  Congregational  Library  of  Boston, 
who  in  the  earlier  years  of  its  compilation  very  kindly  furnished 
much  new  material. 

The  hope  is  fondly  cherished  that  the  appearance  of  this  volume 
will  induce  some  one  in  each  of  the  other  New  England  states, 
native  or  resident,  who  has  the  necessary  courage  and  perseverance, 
to  undertake  the  work  for  his  own  state.  The  compiler  of  this  vol- 
ume will  gladly  give  to  such  the  benefit  of  his  experience.
